Abstract

This paper analyses the information contents of the trade credit in Korea. Trade credit is not only a settlement device in business cycle but also an information messenger in the financial market with an asymmetric information. The empirical results support that in addition to the bank loan, trade credit takes a significant role in that it provide a cheap and reliable credit to firms that have financial difficulties because of the information problem.

본 논문은 국내유가증권 상장기업들을 대상으로 영업부채가 관행적인 영업상 지급결제역할 이외에도 해당기업의 주요한 재원조달역할 및 정보창출기능도 수행하는지를 분석하였다. 국내기업들의 경우 정보관련 비용부담이 큰 기업일수록 영업부채 의존도가 유의적으로 높은 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 납품기업에 의한 영업부채가 구매기업관련 신용정보 서비스를 제공하고 있으며, 이로 인해 정보비대칭관련 비용부담이 큰 구매기업들에게 매우 효과적인 재원이 될 수 있음을 나타내는 결과이다. 그러나 재벌소속 기업들의 경우에도 상대적으로 영업부채 의존도가 높은 것으로 나타났는데, 이러한 결과는 재벌소속 기업들이 비재벌소속 기업들에 비해 구매력 우위를 바탕으로 납품기업들로부터 영업부채 제공을 더 많이 받기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 한편, 영업부채를 많이 사용하는 기업들은 은행으로부터의 차입이 상대적으로 적은 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 영업부채와 은행부채가 정보관련 비용부담이 큰 기업들에게 상호 대체재일 가능성을 증거한다.
